   I remember George Carlin in an interview talking about how all   
   the wealthy were manipulating things. The host said, "What!?   
   You saying there's a big conspiracy!??"   
      
   Carlin said, "No! I'm saying that their interests are *aligned*."   
      
    DAVOS MAN   
      
    HOW THE BILLIONAIRES DEVOURED THE WORLD   
      
    PETER S. GOODMAN   
      
    For most of us, 2020 was a year of prolonged torment. Its very   
    numerals seem likely to endure as shorthand for mass death,   
    fear, isolation, shuttered schools, threats to livelihood, and   
    countless more mundane forms of misery from the worst pandemic   
    in a century.   
      
    But one select group—a species of human known as Davos   
    Man—thrived like never before. The wealthiest, most powerful   
    people on earth used their money and influence to separate   
    themselves from the pandemic, riding it out in their   
    oceanfront estates, mountain hideaways, and yachts. They   
    feasted on calamity, snapping up real estate, shares of stock,   
    and other companies at distressed prices. They applied their   
    lobbying muscle to turn gargantuan, taxpayer-financed bailout   
    packages into corporate welfare schemes for the billionaire   
    class.   
      
   Part 2 of the Trump calamity does not involve COVID-19.   
      
   It involves the Heritage Foundation, among others.
